This section describes only the specific advantages of Linter that distinguish it from other similar systems. If you are interested in technical features of Linter, please see the following sections: «Linter Overview», «Technical Characteristics of Linter» and «Documentation».
MULTI-PLATFORM CAPABILITIES – CREATE A UNIVERSAL SYSTEM
Linter is available for over 20 hardware and software platforms, and has the same interface for all of them. Linter-based applications can be easily ported to other OSs . The interaction between client applications and the database server working in different environments is transparent. If you develop cross-platform applications, Linter will enable you to support new OSs and thus win new clients.
REAL-TIME – ESSENTIAL CONDITION FOR ACCOMPLISHING YOUR TASKS
Working with real-time systems is one of the areas where Linter is rightfully considered a leader. QNX, OS-9, VxWorks, OS/9000, and OS RV are among the operating systems supported by Linter. Linter is used as a database server in nuclear reactor control, diagnostic and security systems, air traffic management systems, oil production dispatching systems etc.
LESS IS MORE
Linter works excellently in systems with limited resources. It is very convenient to use Linter if the requirements to your system include small fixed main memory space, high performance, reliability and rich functionality.
EMBEDDABILITY – EASY TO USE AND INEXPENSIVE
Linter makes it possible to create applications in which DBMS installation and configuration are performed automatically, not by the user. The transparent DBMS that does not require administration and setup facilitates the work of your company's IT specialists and lowers the cost of the program package.

Linter provides the highest level of data security. This is the only DBMS certified by the Russian Federal Technical Committee as compliant with Class 2 data security requirements and Level 2 non-documented feature control requirements. This security level allows using Linter in information systems working with top secret information.
